I was going to make some tank dividers today but couldn't find anyone that has eggcrate. Were do you guys buy it from? Our Lowes and Home depote used to carry it but neither had it today and they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about.
 
use plastic pegboard. i believe it's only lowes that has it here.

Did you try asking them if they had any "light diffusers"? I know that others here mentioned that employees from both stores had no idea what "egg crates" were but once they mentioned "light diffusers", they knew exactly what they were talking about. It's hard to believe that neither lowe's or home depot would have none in stock.
 
go into your local eletrical wholesaler and ask for 'Eggcrate Light Diffuser'
 
Ok, thanks everyone. I had no idea what it was used for so when they asked I couldn't really tell them much. There's an ace hardware right down from my work. I'll check it on my lunch break.
 
Happened to me too - they gave me a blank look when I mentioned "egg crate". Like others said it's usually in "ceilings" department and "light diffuser" should ring a bell.
 
Yes - it's in the lighting department. I just cut it to size and wedge it into the tank.

That Home Depot or Lowe's employees look at you like you have a d*ck growing out of your forehead when you ask them for an item that you know that they carry isn't surprising. It happened to me all of the time before I quit shopping at either (unless I absolutely can't help it)...

That was the exact look that I got. I explained to them what it looked like and they told me didn't have it and tried to sell me window screens at both places. I wondered around a bit trying to find it myself but never did. I knew they had it, just didn't know were.
